Google Tango-based smartphone Lenovo Phab 2 Pro launched at Rs 29,990

Lenovo has finally launched its Google-Tango augmented reality based Lenovo Phab 2 Pro phablet in India. The device is priced at Rs 29,990 and will be made available from Flipkart in Champagne Gold colour. The company already announced its Phab 2 Pro device back in June last year during the Tech World Show event. The Phab 2 Pro features a metal unibody and is the company’s first attempt in bringing the augmented reality and virtual reality on to the hands of consumers. The multiple cameras placed at the back panel work in tandem to bring improved augmented reality effect on the handset display. It includes three basic sensors – motion tracking, depth perception, and area learning. Area learning tells the handset its location, while depth perception lets the hab2 Pro analyze the shape of the objects in the area around it. The device can be used for educational purposes, gaming, measuring spaces and more.
“With Tango technology, the PHAB2 Pro can even begin to change the way people think about mapping indoor spaces to create new experiences like future augmented reality museum tours, home improvement, interior decoration and more,” adds the company.
Under the hood, the Android 6.0 Marshmallow-based Phab 2 Pro is powered by an Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor, clubbed with 4GB RAM, and 64GB of inbuilt storage. The storage can also be expanded up to 128GB using a microSD card.
It has a total of four cameras. An 8MP front-facing camera, a 16MP RGB rear camera, a motion tracking rear camera and a depth tracking rear camera. The phablet houses a 6.4-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution IPS display.
Lenovo has also managed to include Dolby Atmos sound technology in the Phab 2 Pro. It is also the world’s first to feature Dolby’s 5.1 audio capture technology.
As for the battery, the phablet is backed by a 4050mAh battery, which is rated to deliver up to 15 hours of life on single charge. It also supports 2.4x fast charging tech. A fingerprint sensor is also present at the back.
